1 - The casinos/gaming industry dose not want educated people. They need non educated people to work in their casinos. Educated people required better working conditions; better pay, better benefits, better treatment by the management, better job stability. Casinos need those uneducated people. They need uneducated people to fill all the grunt jobs required to run a large hotel/casino. The statistic is something like they need 5 workers for every room they build, right. All these families that move into town are not being haired as managers or VP’s.
Walt Disney World room tax is (aprox)12.5%
NY City Room Tax (aprox) 13.5%

2 - The casinos/hotels bring a large majority of people/families in to this valley. They should be held accountable in keeping up the infrastructure, not only at the level it was but to help it continue to grow to be able to support all the new homes and families that they have brought here.

I worked in a strip hotel/casino. The hourly pay was OK but it was like being a child again. We had to raised our hand and ask to go to the bathroom. We got in trouble if kids or family called to talk to us. It was like we were in detention. Some times I worked 40 hours and other weeks I had no hours. They treat you like a commodity not like a person who has commitments and families.

They should be paying more to help our community fund education!
